Putting Their Money Where Their Mouth Is
Luke 8:1 After this, while Jesus was traveling through some cities and small towns, he preached and told the Good News about God’s kingdom. The twelve apostles were with him,2 and also some women who had been healed of sicknesses and evil spirits: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;3 Joanna, the wife of Cuza (the manager of Herod’s house); Susanna; and many others. These women used their own money to help Jesus and his apostles.
We love God because He first loved us and here is an example of tangible proof of love for Him. This scripture points out that after these women were healed of sickness and evil spirits they used their money to fund the work of Jesus. God could have provided for Jesus without these women. He could have used some rich men or could have had resources flow from heaven like manna. So why point this out? Because where our treasure is so is our hearts. What are we to do? Freely give as we have freely been given.
